Are we happy...............?
Paul produced several designs for a double wardrobe, drawers and cupboards in an awkward space with sloping ceilings at the back and side. It looks lovely as well as making best use of the space and the workmanship is really skilled and robust. He’s very easy and reliable to work with - I found it a totally trouble-free and successful experience and would highly recommend him.

Your attention to detail and workmanship are excellent. Given that the house is 123 years old, and that the walls, floors and ceilings are not exactly true, you have succeeded in overcoming all of the property's faults and foibles and provided cabinets and cupboards that look right from every angle. The quality certainly shows and sets off the room exactly as required. The glass cabinet fronts are now showing Steph's ceramic collection in their full glory. Thank you again for all of your hard work.
We would recommend you to anyone who is looking for such work in future.

Wow! Amazing! Paul interpreted our ideas for two bespoke fitted units superbly! They are fantastic to look at and we are truly delighted by the end result. Paul was on site for 3 days perfecting the installation and worked without any mess. A very professional service from initial discussions and design, through to high quality CAD drawings for agreement and sign-off prior to being built and installed - huge thank you!

Thanks again Paul for our 3 alcove units, we are really happy with them. They are exactly what we asked for and fit perfectly within our wonky old walls, a testament to your attention to detail and skill. Would highly recommend you to others, a professional job from first correspondence, to quote, to the final product.

We approached Paul for some fitted wardrobes after a recommendation from a friend. We had been looking at other options e.g. ikea and found that for the price the options weren’t truly fitted and not to our taste. Paul came up with some design options based on our brief that were exactly what we were looking for and at a reasonable price. Paul was highly professional on his approach and gave good advice when asked. The finished product is of a very high standard, it looks exactly as we’d hoped and there were no issues during the entire process. We are extremely happy with Paul’s work and would definitely recommend his services to others.
Thanks

We asked Paul to re-purpose our granite work surface into a kitchen table. He designed and built a beautiful American white oak table for us using this. Its style and proportions are elegant and the craftsmanship is first rate. He has far exceeded our expectations of what could be achieved. It has been a real pleasure to deal with someone with such talent, attention to detail and excellent customer care.

Paul made a personalised assessment of our requirements and designed bespoke, original products that made our rooms feel complete. Throughout, there was good communication, keeping us up to date and fully involved with the design process and offering advice and suggestions where appropriate. The work was completed in a timely and tidy manner and the products offer great storage solutions. We would totally recommend Thorne Woodworking to anyone.

Hi Paul
Just wanted to say thank you for the work to date. It’s rare to find someone who is so professional and adaptable while offering the right advice on what will and won’t work but still achieving the desired end result.
After a few mishaps with other trades people during the 3 years we have been having the house renovated, we have been seeking out people to deliver a really high end finish and following the completion of the upstairs storage, living room cabinets and under stairs work (not to mention to the ad-hoc work we requested in the bathroom) we are more than delighted not just with the end result but the whole approach, from quotation, consultation during installation and just the general sense of having someone who really cares about what they are doing and ultimately delivering a fantastic end product.
We would be more than happy to recommend you to anyone, I’d just advise them to book in advance, I’m glad we did it was worth the wait.

We asked Paul from Thorne Woodworking to make us some bespoke wardrobes for our daughter’s bedroom. We have used Paul on other occasions for skilled carpentry work and we knew that he worked to a very high standard. We gave him a rough idea of what we required and he did us some simple but easy to understand drawings. The wardrobes and drawer units are now in place and look fantastic! We are so pleased with the end result. So much storage in a relatively small space.
Paul is a craftsman and as such his craftsmanship is second to none. The attention to detail and the excellent quality of his work would be difficult to match. He is neat and tidy when he works and he clears up well at the end of the day. He is punctual and works long hours. He is a quiet and unassuming man who clearly takes a pride in his work and wants everything to be just right.
The finished product is perfect and we are absolutely delighted. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to everyone!
Thank you very much Paul.

Dear Paul
This is just a short note to say how very appreciative we are of the fantastic and quite unique, purpose built, storage cupboard and storage shelves that you have created for us in the church. They are really substantial and should give us many years of useful life while being cleverly integrated into the rooms in which they lie.
Many thanks for doing such a good job producing these excellent items for us and leaving the areas so clean and tidy when you left.

After much searching I came across Paul at Thorne Woodworking and I have no hesitation of giving Paul a truly exceptional recommendation! Paul is always willing to listen and give good advice. He took on board all our ideas and discussed every minor detail with us at our pace and more importantly kept us informed every step of way. Paul produced a truly beautiful piece of furniture (media unit) from walnut and the results were truly breathtaking and well worth waiting for. Keep up the good work Paul!

We are absolutely delighted with the work undertaken by Paul; his craftsmanship, imagination and helpfulness were second to none. I think we presented him with a unique challenge (creating some bespoke pieces of furniture for our motorhome) and he didn’t disappoint, creating some beautiful pieces that work perfectly in a relatively confined space. What we really appreciated was his willingness to think creatively and turn our rather vague ideas into something tangible and practical, and at a very competitive price. We would highly recommend Paul to all those seeking somebody who is a genuine master of his craft – an increasingly rare breed these days!

I wanted some made to measure hardwood wardrobes for my master bedroom. Paul was happy to accommodate my ideas where practical and gave me lots of input. The wardrobes Paul produced and fitted are superb, they actually came out better than I expected!! I would recommend Thorne Woodworking anytime for a true 1 to 1 bespoke service.

Paul did a fantastic job of fitting us a lovely new, inbuilt wardrobe in the master bedroom. It looks great and works a treat with lots of space saving ideas. The work was completed in three days and he was very professional throughout (even putting up with and making friends with our dog!). I would absolutely recommend Thorne Woodworking for an exceptional and reasonably priced outcome.

We have a very important Book of Remembrance, giving complete histories of the men named on the village War Memorial, which we needed to show in a prominent position in our church. To do this we needed a high quality display cabinet.
After much searching we found Paul @ Thorne Woodworking who came up with a suitable design at an acceptable price so an order was placed.
The cabinet was delivered on time and to specification.
The finished cabinet shows a high standard of workmanship with much care given to detail.
The unit has since been put on display in the church and we have had many pleasing comments on its quality and appearance.
We would not hesitate to use Paul again or recommend his services to anyone requiring carpentry to an excellent standard.

I am very happy with the finished work. Paul produced detailed plans of the design for the fitted bedroom which made maximum use of the very small space, fulfilling the job description. The work was carried out in good time and I was particularly impressed with the attention paid to keeping the work area tidy! Everything is constructed to a very high standard with well finished details. The room has been admired by everyone who has seen it and I would recommend Thorne Woodworking to anyone.
